It seems so as well as other weapons. However, they were on more equal footing than the general population is now.

Most of the population of america does not have access to the ridiculous armaments or vehicles that the military or other armed forces have, nor the legal authority to use them. Such is the monopoly of violence.

If they want this to work they need to be clever, plan well and use violence tactically, have access to technology and knowledge that will aid them, and do good opsec.

Soooo. What's the best way to disable drones from a distance? Anyone know?

Either physically 😏 or with a long radio transmitter/jammer. 😉

Guns might be part of the solution (hopefully not), but coming out pistols blazing now would just help justify the orange clowns dance routine at this point I think. Give him and his cronies the political push they need to go full domestic military action.

If every American citizen stocked up, they still wouldn’t beat the American military. And Canada probably isn’t coming to help you after recent events.

It doesn't work like that. That's why the U.S. didn't achieve their goals in Vietnam and the Middle East.

You only need small arms to eliminate the higher ranking individuals to collapse the command structure.

Indeed, no need for large scale battles.

We need a hostile foreign power with nukes to take us out before we hurt anyone else any worse.

Just start with D.C. That would be enough to solve a lot of problems.

But how could they pull such a thing off? Those roaches would scatter before anything lands.
